Virat Kohli, in the middle of a great patch, again batted well to smash his way to 54 while Rohit Sharma did his cause no harm by notching up an unbeaten 62.

Earlier, Indian spinners yet again put on a dominating show as the West Indies batsman were tied down throughout.

Chris Gayle (34) was the top scorer but was not at all in his element as the other West Indies batsmen showed their ineptness against a quality spin attack.

Gayle, despite getting two reprieves, wasn't able to break free and was eventually run out after a horrible mix-up with Marlon Samuels.

Umar Akmal scored a scintillating 54-ball 94

In the day's opening match Pakistan brought their campaign back on track with a convincing 16-run victory over tournament favourites Australia.

Having been put into bat, Pakistan rode on Umar Akmal's scintillating 54-ball 94 to score a formidable 191 for five. Australia were bowled out Australia for 175.

At 25 for two, Umar joined Kamran and the two brothers counter-attacked the Australian bowling in a swift manner, adding 96 runs for the third wicket. While Kamran was happy playing the second fiddle, Umar showed why he is such a highly rated batsman in world cricket.

Umar was six short of a well-deserved century when he gave Mitchell Starc the charge but couldn't clear Maxwell at long-on.
